First off, very nice episode overall. The action was great and the story progression was really interesting. I had to rewind twice to make sure I caught a few important pieces of info. The end was excellent as well.
That said, the over the top shock value is beginning to wear on me a bit. I'm not a prude at all, but it almost seems like the director is trying to throw a scene or two in every episode that pushes the envelope. That is fine every now and then, but it happens too much IMO, and is beginning to detract from the show.
Granted, I haven't read the books, so maybe these scenes are very important parts of the story. But personally I don't need to see a dude's meatsicle, the slurping sounds of dudes slobbing on each other, and animalistic fucking every damn episode to appreciate the storyline. The best shows, even on HBO, do not require this.
The 8 year old sucking on his mom was pretty nasty also, but it sounds like that is straight from the book.
